We received a service call in Massillon for an LG washer with door seal issues. The customer reported the door seal and probably more problems. Our diagnosis revealed a spring that had come off, which we reattached to restore proper operation.
The Problem
The customer contacted us about their LG WM3500CW washer, reporting issues with the door seal and probably more. This type of complaint often indicates mechanical components around the door assembly have shifted or failed.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection of the washer, we found that a spring had come off from its proper mounting position. This displaced spring was likely affecting the door seal’s alignment and function, creating the symptoms the customer experienced.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None required
- Work performed: Reattached the spring that had come off
- Result: Door seal returned to proper function
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG washers like this WM3500CW are generally well-built machines that respond well to targeted repairs. When the fix involves reattaching existing components rather than replacing expensive parts, it’s almost always worth the repair cost versus replacement.
Maintenance Tips for LG Washers
- Check door seal monthly for debris buildup that can stress mounting hardware
- Run LG’s Tub Clean cycle regularly to prevent residue from affecting door mechanisms
- Avoid slamming the door, which can gradually loosen spring connections
